Citrine, a variety of quartz with a warm yellow-orange hue, has been revered since ancient times. Its name derives from the Old French word for lemon, “citron“, and its warm colour is said to be a gift from the sun.Citrine’s attractive colour, durability and affordability make it the top-selling yellow-to-orange gem.
It ranks a seven out of 10 on the Mohs scale, meaning it is relatively durable against scratches and everyday wear and tear.
Citrine has long been valued for its metaphysical powers. It represents warmth, abundance, and success.
